Default shock bleeding...continuously, grrr

I'm building these standard bore Team C shocks, I put oil in, wait etc, pop diaphragm on etc, screw top down blah blah, you know the score. I keep compressing them and oil keeps on pissing out the air hole, they'll be bloody empty again soon at this rate. I've built plenty of shocks in my time, Wtf is going on here?

Please help

having undone the bag the seals and o rings came, I popped the small o rings on the bottom of the shock body, as you do, and having only recently rebuilt my Durango shocks, I put the large o rings at the bottom of the thread on the top of the body, thinking, like the durango, the shock cap screws down on the o ring. DDUUUUHHHHHH, no, I realised the large o rings go in the preload collars

Easy mistake to make. Moral of the story is, always look at the bloody instructions
